Ranma 1/2, High School DxD, Darkstalkers and the rest are owned by their respective owners. I own nothing.

If only I did.


Chapter 14

Ranma stood at the castle where Yasaka had been forced to fight in her true Youkai form and closed his eyes and sighed before pulling the pan flute out and blowing into it.

A moment later, Puck appeared in front of him grinning. "Ah, it's time to go rescue the leader of the white feathers?"

"Tell me something." Ranma looked at Puck. "How did Gabriel get captured? She's plenty powerful and not an idiot."

"Ah, betrayers within the white feathers." Puck shook his head. "This one is unsure why their leader puts up with it. Lord Oberon would not."

Ranma wasn't sure either or how any Angels that betrayed Heaven hadn't fallen. "So what's in it for you?" Ranma asked the Fae. "What do you get out of it? If this is about having someone be a fairy for a children's show, I'm sorry for not asking. Did anyone hate it?"

Puck floated up and into a sitting position in the air. "Not at all." He said with his arms crossed behind his head. "But it's the priniple of the matter more than anything else." He then held out his hand. "That said, return to me the Fae weapon that you have on you." Ranma gave Puck a flat stare and Puck returned it. "We both know that you have it. A game is boring if one side has such an advantage that it renders everything moot."

Ranma sighed and nodded as the black blade of the Fae appeared in his hand and he handed it to Puck, who grinned.

"Good, should you survive without it, then you can have it back." Puck said as he disappeared and reappeared on top of Ranma's head. "Okay, let's go." He said and the two disappeared in a flash of light.

The two appeared in front of a large warehouse. Ranma looked around and saw that it was one of several warehouses in the area. "Interesting location for a fight." He said as he turned to walk to the front door.

"Indeed, don't make it boring." Puck said as he disappeared.

"Don't make it boring he says." Ranma grumbled and walked into the mostly darkened warehouse. Which didn't mean much, since he could see perfectly fine in the dark. He glanced around and saw several shapes that were in darkness so deep that he couldn't see them, including one that was a large shape in the center of the whole warehouse. "Alright, you're obviously using some sort of darkness enhancing magic, why don't you just turn it off already? Or turn on the lights, I'm sure that all of us can see in the dark."

"You really are no fun." A female voice said that Ranma didn't recognize.

Ranma shrugged at hearing that. "I understand the dramatic, but my ability to play up drama goes out the window when people I care about are kidnapped." His eyes started to burn as he held up his left hand. "Now turn off the darkness spell or I'll cast an over-powered light spell that will blind every single one of you."

Someone started to laugh and Ranma figured it was probably Puck as the lights slowly turned on before a powerful spot-light was put on the large shadow in the center of the whole warehouse, revealing Gabriel, who was chained up to a large cross, her outfit was mostly strips of clothing that barely covered her nipples and crotch. Her hair, which was normally golden, looked dingy and nearly lifeless as she hung there with her arms spread to the sides of her and her legs were straight up and down. She raised her head and gave him a weak smile. "Hello, Ranma. I apologize that you have to come and rescue me and see me in such a state."

"...How come Michael and the others haven't come for you yet?" Ranma asked.

"That..." Gabriel blinked a few times. "I am not sure."

There was a fluttering and Ranma looked over his shoulder as a multi-winged Angel walked out of the shadows. "Lord Michael and the other Seraphs got a message from you shortly after you left, Lady Gabriel."

"Cassiel..." Gabriel looked at her sadly. "You tricked the other Seraphs? Why?"

"I told you, it's because you're dating him," Cassiel said with a sad expression on her face as the light brightened and several Devils, Fallen Angels and a small amount of Angels came out of the shadows. "How can you betray your role as one of humanity's protectors if you're too busy being with a Devil?"

"Kind of an odd mindset to have." Ranma said while scratching the back of his head. "I mean, aren't we all allies now?"

"Allies or not, your kind still tries to tempt people away from Heaven." Cassiel said and took a deep breath before letting it out. "Really, if you weren't involved with Lady Gabriel, I wouldn't care what you were doing."

Ranma looked around at the Devils and Fallen Angels before looking back at Cassiel. "You do realize that once you get found out that you'll become a Fallen Angel yourself, right?" Cassiel nodded while crossing her arms under her chest. "Then why?"

"So long as Lady Gabriel is freed from your grasp, then it's fine."

Ranma sighed and shook his head. "Lovely, and the rest of you?"

A Devil flew down and landed next to Cassiel. Ranma frowned in confusion as he didn't recognize this Devil. He was fairly tall and lanky with pointed ears and pale skin, purple eyes and black hair. "I'm sorry, who are you?" The man was wearing a dark cloak that covered a dark shirt and pants while having dark boots over his feet.

"The younger brother of Creuserey Asmodeus, Rauzabu." The Devil said with a cold tone.

"...So why would someone of the Asmodeus Clan come to see me?" Ranma asked as Rauzabu held out his hand. "What?"

"The box that was given to the current Devil King, Falbium, was given to you and we never got it back. If you were able to open it, you need to return what was in the box to the clan."

Ranma blinked a few times and tilted his head. "Oh! You mean Asmodeus?" He asked and reached into his pants pocket, pulling out Asmodues, who blinked a few times and smiled while waving. "Yeah, she's right here."

"HUH?!" Everyone but Gabriel and Ranma all gasped at the same time.

"Hold on!" Puck yelled as he appeared in front of Ranma. "I do believe that..."

"No mentors, no servants, no allies, right?" Ranma asked as he idly rubbed Asmodeus's head, causing her to smile and close her eyes. "But Asmodeus here is none of those things, she's more of a tool. If you had a problem with that, you should have said no tools."

Puck opened his mouth and held his right index finger up before relaxing his visage and cupping his chin. "Ah, right, I suppose if that thing is a tool, then it is okay." He nodded and disappeared.

Asmodeus was practically purring as she rolled her shoulders. "Mmm... Keep treating me like an object and I'll use all of my power to return to my full size and jump you in front of everyone."

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF MY ANSCESTOR IS GOING ON?!" Rauzabu yelled as he pointed at Asmodeus. "And who is that?!"

Asmodeus gave the Devil a glowering look. "I'm all that remains of the former Great Devil King Asmodeus."

"LIAR!" Rauzabu yelled while his eyes were white and blank in anger. "Asmodeus was a man! Not a woman! And he certainly didn't enjoy being petted or acting like some debased slut!"

Asmodeus sighed and hung her head. "This is why I was so disappointed with all of the children I fathered. None of them really understood what I was all about. They got suckered into the lies that Lucy told them."

"Well," Gabriel smiled weakly, "brother did become the Prince of Lies. And please, stop calling our brother by that name, sister."

"Fine, fine, out of respect for you, I will." Asmodeus huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest. She looked at Rauzabu and shook her head. "It's true, I was a man when I was running the clan, but all of my children and the other members of the clan only cared about power, destruction and violence."

"I have copies of your speeches!" Rauzabu yelled at her. "If you really are Asmodeus, then you should remember that you often said that as Devils we have to fuck the world!"

Ranma and Gabriel both sweat-dropped and looked as Asmodeus, who was blinking in confusion with her head tilted to the side while thinking. "Asmodeus..." Ranma said in a growling tone. "What did you say and what did you mean?"

"AH!" Asmodeus's eyes went white and blank as she remembered what her descendant was saying. "That's right, I did say fuck the world, and that's what I meant. Fuck the world. As in, fuck everything in the world."

Rauzabu stared in shock. "...What? By fuck everything, you mean..?"

"If it can be bred, breed it, yes." Asmodeus nodded. "Really," she scratched her head. "How hard is it to understand? My whole world-view after becoming a Devil was about fucking everything that moves. I slept with humans, Fallen Angels, Youkai and even Pure Angels, making them Fallen." She frowned before kicking her legs up and down. "And then the stupid servants that worked for me thought that I was only using sex as a way to make it easy to capture our enemies and then they chained them up in dungeons when I was away on long missions and tortured them to death! I didn't want that! There were so many cute boys and girls that I wanted to keep experimenting with! I once captured a pure Angel and I wanted to see how long it would take for him to beg me to stop edging him and make him Fall, since apparently edging doesn't cause Angels to Fall."

Now even Gabriel and Ranma were sweat-dropping as they listened to Asmodeus complain about what happened during the Great War.

Asmodeus huffed in annoyance. "Even my son, Damaidosu and his son, didn't understand. When I explained it to them..." She shook her head. "They were aghast at it! I don't understand why. I told them that my whole reason for being a Devil was to fuck everything that moves." She paused for a moment before blushing, grinning and giggling. "They were pretty hot too, I even offered to turn into a girl just to let them fuck me, but they acted all weirded out for some reason."

"...W-wh-wh-whaaaat?!" Rauzabu screamed in shock while more than a few people in the crowd murmured amongst themselves. "Are you telling me that my great Ancestor was..."

"Nothing more than a giant slut," Asmodeus grinned and nodded, "yep yep!" Her grin fell from her face and she sighed softly. "Sadly, after that, the clan all kept their distance from me. I kind of felt isolated. Probably why I visited Makai, we weren't at war with Demons and I ended up getting knocked up by Belial Aensland. Now Lilith," Asmodeus had a savage grin come to her face. "She gets me! Sure, she's more reserved, but my daughter understands what it means to be part of my clan."

"For all my old man's faults, he was able to knock some common sense into Lilith's head." Ranma said while shaking his head. "I can't imagine how crazy she'd be if he hadn't explained things to her."

"This... This is impossible." Rauzabu fell to his knees, unable to believe what he was hearing. "The Great Devil King Asmodeus..." He growled as he glowed red. "No... This FAKE using my great ancestor's name!" He said while he stood up.

"Uh oh," Asmodeus just smiled while scratching her cheek. "I think I made him mad."

"Yeah, you probably did." Ranma nodded as Asmodeus glowed. "Well, hope you don't mind me using you for battle and not in the bedroom."

"Not at all." She grinned as she flew up. "This should be good. Unison IN!"

Ranma took a deep breath as his hair and eyes changed color while he felt a surge of power fill him. "So, shall we?"

"GET HIM!" Rauzabu yelled as the others in the room started firing spells and other attacks at Ranma.

Rauzabu's name is based on Rau Le Creuset and Rey Za Burrel, just like Creuserey was. Hey, why not?
